Challenge

Up to date project data is key to driving pipeline and focus. Prior to implementing this solution, Stramit was dealing with:

4 staff working full-time to parse BCI data manually

Routing 1000-3000 projects a week to sales teams

Information overload

No ability to filter quality project data

No ability to link architects and engineers to the multiple projects they are working with

Solution

Stramit, as a long-term user of the Salesforce platform, looked to Salesforce to be the application to host the BCI project data. A design was needed that enabled the data to be captured but also filtered and assigned to the correct parties within Stramit.

Stramit chose WDCi as the implementation partner to plan, customise and deploy the solution as well as make recommendations for tweaks in future releases. Together we designed and released a successful automation process that included the following key features:

Integration between BCI and Salesforce

Using Dell Boomi to automate the import of BCI project data

Automations in Salesforce to filter this data and route filtered data to the right people

Alerts and notifications based on the automations that filter the data

Dashboards and reports to monitor the pipeline data

Benefits

Staff freed up to do more productive tasks

Timeliness of information

Staff are up to date on what they need to work on

Scalability

Quote

Paul Hahn, National Sales Manager, noted that “This integration between BCI and Salesforce has enabled us to consume large quantities of data efficiently, driving the right activities in our team to grow our pipeline. WDCi has partnered with us to deliver a solution we understand and can tweak ourselves as we make adjustments to our business focus. It works brilliantly.”
